Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts,
by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
